Aesthetically appealing tools are important to me, I like tools that are good to look at and work with and I will pay more for the privilege.

When I have a set of tools I prefer that they are coloured differently as it helps identify different sizes without having to read labels once you worked with them for a bit. I am particularly partial to Swiss Tools rainbow sets for this reason.

Obviously if you are only using the tool once in a blue moon then you really do not need to spend big money on it, but if you are spending more can get you a significantly better tool, so it might as well look cool in the process.

Even things like screwdrivers a better quality one like Vessels Megadora range cam out a lot less than the cheapest supermarket screwdrivers so you have less frustration with stripping screw heads. Plus they are A LOT more comfy to use all day.

Power tools I am on the DeWalt batteries, so cordless I stick with DeWalt. Anything corded or hand powered I buy whatever is best bang for my buck, but if its reasonably close I will stick with DeWalt where I can.

All my storage boxes are either Stanley or DeWalt as its the same system and same colours. I like my storage to match as much as possible as I have a lot of it and it looks better matching. Even the foam in my storage is black and yellow, lol.

I switched from Sync to Summit when I finally gave up on the sync dev ever doing anything more. Summit has frequent updates and fills the same spot for me as Sync, which is important to me as I used sync with reddit for a long time.

Because he thinks speaking confidently about something is the same as actually knowing what hes talking about.

He also has a massive throbber for the private sector, which compromises his stance on things.

Yeah that sounds awful. I am doing the full UK and they give you a reference booklet for the exam that covers a lot of the basic rules like that to crib from. Only thing I do not like with the UK exam is having to memorize the block diagrams for all the different transceivers, completely pointless IMO as who would troubleshoot or build a transceiver without an online reference in this day and age?

Best of luck with your exam!

Whats the Ham license exams like in Japan?
